'Fat but fit' people may still be at risk of heart disease
Conclusion This large, valuable study confirms that – as has long been thought – an increased BMI is linked with an increased risk of heart disease. It shows that people with an obese BMI had a higher risk of heart disease, even if they didn't have other risk factors like high cholesterol and high blood pressure, proving that body fat is an independent risk factor. That said, this study does have some limitations. For example, definitions of being metabolically unhealthy aren't entirely consistent with other definitions of metabolic syndrome. This was also only assessed at the start of the study, and risk factors may...

Hypertension Prevalence, Awareness, Treatment, and Control Among Adults Aged ≥18 Years - Los Angeles County, 1999-2006 and 2007-2014.
Abstract Hypertension is an important and common risk factor for heart disease and stroke, two of the leading causes of death in adults in the United States. Despite considerable improvement in increasing the awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension, undiagnosed and uncontrolled hypertension remain public health challenges (1). Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were used to estimate the prevalence of hypertension, as well as awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension among adults aged ≥18 years in Los Angeles County compared with adults aged ≥18 years in th...

Sex differences in associations between blood lipids and cerebral small vessel disease
Conclusions Our findings demonstrate that sex differences may exist in the associations between lipids and SVD. HDL-C and apoA-1 levels were inversely associated with the severity of PVWMLs and DWMLs in women.

Headache and pregnancy: a systematic review
AbstractThis systematic review summarizes the existing data on headache and pregnancy with a scope on clinical headache phenotypes, treatment of headaches in pregnancy and effects of headache medications on the child during pregnancy and breastfeeding, headache related complications, and diagnostics of headache in pregnancy. Headache during pregnancy can be both primary and secondary, and in the last case can be a symptom of a life-threatening condition. The most common secondary headaches are stroke, cerebral venous thrombosis, subarachnoid hemorrhage, pituitary tumor, choriocarcinoma, eclampsia, preeclampsia, idiopathic ...

Association of chronic disease prevalence and quality of life with suicide-related ideation and suicide attempt among Korean adults.
CONCLUSION: SI was positively associated with selected CDP, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), stroke, ischemic heart disease (IHD), cancer, diabetes, renal failure, and depression, except hypertension. Subjects with CVD, IHD, renal failure, and depression were found likely to have increased odds for SA as compared to non-SA controls. Lower QoL strongly affected SI and SA. Furthermore, the likelihood of SI increased for depressed and cancer subjects who had low QoL in comparison to subjects with high QoL and without chronic disease. Similarly, statistically, significant interaction was observed between lower QoL and dep...

Taste perception and diet in people of Chinese ancestry.
CONCLUSIONS: There was a salty-sour confusion among Singaporean Chinese unlike the bitter-sour confusion reported for Caucasians. Most sodium came from sauces and was added during food preparation. In programs to address sodium: potassium ratio excess among Chinese prone to hypertension and stroke, sour as well as salty taste may need to be considered. PMID: 29384339 [PubMed - in process]

Magnolol promotes thermogenesis and attenuates oxidative stress in 3T3-L1 adipocytes
Obesity incidence is increasing worldwide at an alarming pace and has become a major threat to public health [1]. Indeed, obesity facilitates the development of hypertension, diabetes, stroke, osteoarthritis, and cancer [2,3]. It is well accepted that obesity results from an imbalance between energy expenditure and energy consumption, which causes excess energy storage in the form of lipids in white adipose tissue (WAT). Methods that either increase energy expenditure or reduce energy consumption are potential antiobesity strategies [4].

The benefits of soluble non-bacterial fraction of kefir on blood pressure and cardiac hypertrophy in hypertensive rats are mediated by an increase in baroreflex sensitivity and decrease in angiotensin-converting enzyme activity
Hypertension is a major risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases such as stroke and heart failure. Thus, controlling blood pressure may be crucial to avoiding cardiovascular complications and to decreasing the cost of health services. Blood pressure is physiologically controlled by several mechanisms, including baroreflex [1,2] and the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) [3].The latter is a major drug target used in the management of hypertension [4].

Summary: International Kidney Cancer Symposium
Conclusions:  Ideal ischemia time is 20-25 minutes or less improves short and long term renal function. >25 minutes carried 5 year risk of new onset stage 4 CKD No differences on GFR for cold vs. warm ischemia times Preoperative GFR and the percent of kidney preserved was a better predictor of post op GFR.  No ischemia preserves renal function better than warm. Longer cold ischemia times were equivalent to shorter warm ischemia times. Quality and quantity of the remaining kidney is associated with ultimate renal function.

Coffee and tea consumption and the risk of subarachnoid hemorrhage: a meta-analysis
SAH is a subversive type of stroke that has a mortality rate of almost 50% [1, 2]. Approximately 10% of patients die during the prehospital period, and survivors often suffer long-term neurological or cognitive impairments due to the original hemorrhage and rehemorrhage despite the development of novel treatment strategies [3 –5]. Therefore, clarifying the risk factors of SAH remains important. Except for the most common risk factors of SAH, including hypertension, smoking, and heavy alcohol intake, the relation between diet and SAH has been a recent concern [6].
